Liam wants to know, how much is a Krugerrand worth

Liam: Hi Alex! Thanks for your message. I live in the middle of nowhere in Montana and believe me, I’m so thankful that I found somebody that can help me to find out the value of my Krugerrand. There are no gold buyers up here in my area because we live very isolated but thanks to the Internet I found your company.

Alex: Hi Liam! Thanks for contacting us. Montana is amazing, I love it because of its gorgeous nature. We are happy that you consulted us with your issue.

Liam: You’re welcome! How much is my Krugerrand worth Alex?

Alex: Before I can answer you this question I need to find out some details which are important price indicators. We differ four kind of Krugerrand gold coins. Each of this gold coins has a different gold content. There are 1 oz. Krugerrand gold coins, 1/2 oz. Krugerrand gold coins, 1/4 oz. Krugerrand gold coins, and 1/10 oz. Krugerrand gold coins. Could you please send me a photo of your Krugerrand coin?

Liam: Yes of course! I’ve just sent it. I forgot to mention that initially, but my Krugerrand coin should be a 1 oz. Krugerrand. “FYNGOUD 1 OZ FINE GOLD” is coined on the reverse side of the coin.

Alex: Well, that’s fine! Thank you for the photo. You are absolutely right. Your Krugerrand coin should be a 1 oz. Krugerrand gold coin with a weight of one troy ounce fine gold. The Krugerrand gold coin is a South African gold coin which was introduced and first minted in 1967 as vehicle for private ownership of gold. Back then the Krugerrand gold coin had the status of legal tender or currency. Do you know what the name Krugerrand means?

Liam: No unfortunately not.

Alex: The name Krugerrand comes from the name “Kruger”, which leads to Mr. Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger, who was a military and political leader of South Africa. Above that he served as President of the South African Republic from 1883-1990. And “rand” derives from the South African currency rand. In the course of the apartheid in the 1970’s and 1980’s the import of Krugerrand coins was strictly forbidden.

Alex: Yes it is. Nowadays the Krugerrand is one of the most important bullion coins. I would like to make sure that your Krugerrand is authentic, as best as I can do that from afar. Please be so kind and weigh your Krugerrand gold coin.

Liam: Yes I can do that but I’m sure it weighs 31.1gram for one troy ounce but your wish is my command.

Alex: Thank you! I’m sure you will be surprised.

Liam: Oh my god! I think my Krugerrand is a faked coin!

Alex: Why do you think that?

Liam: The weight of my Krugerrand is not 31.3 grams, it’s more. My 1 oz Krugerrand has a weight of 33.93 grams.

Alex: Congratulations Liam! It seems that you own an authentic Krugerrand gold coin. I didn’t doubt the authenticity but to perform the evaluation process properly and correct, I have to ask for this detailed information.

Liam: I understand. Puh, I’m relieved but why is there a deviance in weight?

Alex: The South African Krugerrand is made of 22 Karat gold. That means that it has a total weight of 33.93 grams which contains 31.10 gram of pure gold. So the Krugerrand has a total weight of 1.0909 troy ounces (33.93 grams). 22 Karat gold has a fineness of 91.67%. The Krugerrand contains one troy ounce of fine gold (31.10 grams) and the remaining 8.33% are copper. That explains why the Krugerrand has a reddish shimmer, this is because of the copper amount. Can you follow my explanation Liam?

Liam: Yes I think I understand. In my simply words spoken: 31.10 gram is the fine gold amount and the remaining 2.83 grams are only copper, right?

Alex: Yes that’s right! I know the value determination of coins can be a bit tricky and confusing for laymen but once you have understand the principle how alloys are compounded it’s much easier to understand the principle.

Liam: First I had a shock but I’m very thankful for your educational explanation. Now back to my initial question. How much is a Krugerrand worth?

Alex: A Krugerrand coin like yours, the 1 oz. Krugerrand gold coin, has a current market value of $1,202.30 (3/5/2015). This amount reflects the current stock market price.

Liam: Wow! That’s a lot for only one gold coin. Is this the price you would also pay me?

Alex: Well, this is the stock market price for one ounce of gold. That our company can exist, we have to deduct a margin but our margin for fine gold is very low in comparison to other gold buyers. Depending on the condition of your Krugerrand gold coin, we would deduct a margin of only 4%-8%. In that explicit case our purchase price would be $1154.21- $1106.12.
